Imaging Biometrics Applies for FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation
May 2, 2025 - Imaging Biometrics, LLC (IB), a wholly owned subsidiary of IQ-AI
Ltd (LSE: IQAI), has today applied to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
for 'Breakthrough Therapy Designation' for its innovative oral gallium
maltolate ("GaM") therapy.
The Phase 1 trial is evaluating oral GaM as a potential treatment for adult
patients with recurrent or refractory glioblastoma ("GBM") IDH-wildtype.
Preliminary findings suggest an overall survival ("OS") of 34.1 months from
initial diagnosis - whilst caution due to the size of the trial population is
appropriate, this significantly exceeds the median OS of 14-15 months (from
initial diagnosis) reported for patients undergoing standard of care treatment
(surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy).
Breakthrough Therapy Designation is granted to therapies that demonstrate
substantial improvement over existing treatments based on early clinical
evidence. While similar to the Fast Track Designation already received,
Breakthrough Therapy Designation provides more intensive FDA guidance and
senior-level organizational support. The FDA is required to respond to this
request within 60 days.
"Our decision to apply for Breakthrough Therapy Designation reflects our
optimism in the potential of oral GaM as a treatment for recurrent or
refractory glioblastoma ("GBM") IDH-wildtype " said Trevor Brown, CEO of IQAI.
